T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that l, HARRY H. HAYNES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Polishing Compositions, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to the manufacture of compositions for polishing enameled, painted or other polishable surfaces, and more particularly for polishing automobile bodies and the like.

An object of this invention is to produce a liquid polish which can be cheaply manufactured, and which can be quickly and conveniently used.

Another object of this invention is to produce a polish having a mild acid cleaning or cutting agent compounded with an oleaginous vehicle in combinative association with other body forming ingredients, whereby the polishable surface is cleaned and a protective polishing film of the composition is deposited on the surface during the polishing operation, and the body forming ingredients are compounded to impart a semi-solid consistency to the protective film, but which never hardens to a consistency which would render it diflicult to remove.

In order to carry my invention into practice I proceed as follows: I dissolve paraffin wax in linseed oil, and add lubricating oil, commonly known as motor oil, varnish, vinegar, and a commercial drier, and stir or agitate constantly while mixing. The drier is employed when the average commercial varnish is used, but the drier may be omitted by employing a very high grade varnish Specification of Letters Patent.

having relatively liberal proportions of drier embodied therein. The best results maybe obtained by compounding the ingredlents in the following proportions: linseed 011, 16 parts; paraffin wax, 8 parts; lubricatlng oil, 16 parts, varnish, 8 parts; vlnegar, 18 parts; and drier, 2 parts.

When the ingredients are combined as descr bed, a viscous liquid polish is obtained, which can be applied to the polishable surface by means of a soft brush or preferably a cloth.

The vinegar, which forms a mild cutting or cleaning agent, cleans the surface, and then the surface is rubbed with a dry cloth until a bright, glossy, polish is imparted to the surface, and this polished effect is occasloned by the thin, protective and polishing film of the composition that remains on the surface after the described polishing action has been completed.

I claim:

1. polishing composition comprising a siccatlve oleaginous vehicle, a mild acid cleaner, a non-drying oleaginous agent, and parafiin wax.

2. A polishing composition comprising linseed oil, paraffin wax, lubricating oil, varnish, vinegar, and a drier.

3. A polishing composition comprising the following ingredients and compounded substantially in the following proportions, to wit: linseed oil, 16 parts; paraflin wax, 3 parts; lubricating oil, 16 parts; varnish, 8 parts; vinegar,.18 parts; and drier, 2 parts.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

HARRY H. HAYNES.
